leftists collect this sort of information because uninformed shit takes are so incredibly common and so equally uniform that you can literally copy/paste them as a response and it works every single time.

they're an EXCELLENT way of proving that the person is willfully ignorant since it's literally independently verifiable proof that they're wrong and the other person's refusal to consider them serves to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the person is talking out of their ass; like it did here.
